It is said if you step on the bronze zodiac relief on the floor of the Memorial Union’s Gold Star Hall, you will flunk your next test.

The Fountain of the Four Seasons by artist-in- residence, Christian Petersen (Danish-American, 1885-1961), is located in front of the Memorial Union and was a gift from the 1937 VEISHEA Committee. In 1942, Christian Petersen added four sculptures to represent the four seasons. The east sculpture represents spring with the planting of corn; south - summer, sheltering a young plant; west - fall, holding the harvest; and north - winter, nursing a child. Legend has it that good luck will come to you if you throw a coin in the fountain. 6 Commencement Program 1:30 p.m., Saturday, December 18, 2010, James H. Hilton Coliseum
